Hardkill

So, then why in 2000, did she greatly supported Ralph Nader's presidential campaign and why was she a member of the Green Party?

Kyrsten Sinema was originally a progressive Democrat, who espoused liberal or progressive values such having a federal including $15 minimum wage, pro-LBGTQ+ rights (she's bisexual), pro-abortion rights, making health care more affordable, lowering prescription drug prices, antiwar, pro-conservation of environment, anti-capitalist. Yet, overtime she eventually became one of the most Conservative members of Congress (almost as conservative as Manchin). She never even gave the American people enough of a transparent explanation as to why she shift so far to the right. According to wikipedia, "In 2017, she voted in line with President Donald Trump's position approximately half the time." "On March 5, 2021, Sinema voted against an increase of the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders as part of the COVID-19 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.[147][148] She did so by flashing a thumbs-down as she carried a Lululemon bag containing a cake for Senate staffers. Some commentators compared her demeanor to that of former Arizona senator John McCain, who had voted with a dramatic thumbs-down gesture in 2017; others compared her to former French monarch Marie Antoinette, to whom the phrase "let them eat cake" is attributed." Yet, her fellow junior Democratic US senator, from the very same state, vote FOR the $15 minimum wage! he's also, made it very clear that she absolutely NOT vote to eliminate the filibuster UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Because she cares so much more about working across the aisle with all of the Republican bastards in Congress than passing seriously needed Democratic legislation for the country, that's why the For the People Act failed to pass the US Senate, even though a simple of Senators voted for it including all 50 of the Democrats together. That Act would've eliminated widespread partisan gerrymandering, expand voting rights, change campaign finance laws to reduce the influence of money in politics, and create new ethics rules for federal officeholders throughout the entire country! However, like Manchin, Sinema believes that we have more lose than gain by ending the filibuster, even if the Democrats passed the For the People Act. Because jerks like her, want to keep the "precious filibuster" intact, that's why the bill for creating an Independent Senate Commission for the purpose of having an in-depth investigation on the January 6th Capitol Riot wasn't passed either. Lately, according to an article from Intelligencer, "Sen. KYRSTEN SINEMA (D-Ariz.) delivered a tough message to President JOE BIDEN at a private meeting Wednesday, we’re told: If the House delays its scheduled Sept. 27 vote on the bipartisan infrastructure plan — or if the vote fails — she won’t be backing a reconciliation bill." https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/09/kyrsten-sinema-threatens-infrastructure-bill-biden-build-back-better.html WTF! How dare she?! Why is she doing this?! One last thing I want to mention about her that really really frustrates me so much is her lack of transparency with media and therefore with public. She hardly ever talks much about why she pulls these kinds of asinine shenanigans. At least Manchin is much more upfront with the media and the public about why he does what he does.

Judging others is inevitable. It's a question of who or what needs to be judged. Even Leo constantly judges others such as fascists, libertarians, dogmatic religious fanatics, staunch conservatives, egotists, etc., etc., etc.

So, she's a pathological liar, huh? Btw, I accidentally duplicated this thread because I think that the web browser I was using, Safari, when I made this thread, had trouble processing my creation of this thread. I thought that this thread didn't actually get registered in this forum. So, I tried again to create about a half ago with the web browser Google Chrome and I saw that that thread went through. It wasn't until afterward that I realized that this thread here actually went through on this forum as well. Sorry. I'd like to have this thread locked and then continue the discussion on the duplicate thread there because that one actually has some edits I made on my on original post on there that I felt were necessary.

I do agree that governments in any countries need to be continually bigger overtime like Leo has explained a number of times. Yet, we all know that Conservatives or most Republicans in the US have been for smaller governments than bigger governments because they believe that the bigger the government the more it becomes Communistic or Socialistic. However, what I wonder is whether or not governments in first world countries which are not communistic actually have had bigger governments than countries that are or were communistic or socialistic. For example, is USA's government bigger than China's government which has been governed by the CCP or bigger than Russia's government when it was communistic?

Yeah, I think I see your point as well as his. Actually, I just rewatched his whole video on "Why Libertarianism Is Nonsense - Deconstructing Freedom" on his Youtube channel. He said that even Communistic countries such as China and Russia, which have replaced their own communist economic systems with much more free-market types of economic systems, still have a lot more corruption than any first world country does. Leo said that it's because 2nd world countries such as China or Russia still don't have as much sophisticated regulation within their governments as do developed countries such as Canada, UK, Republic of Ireland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Scandanavian countries, or even the US. So, from what I now understand, apparently 1st world countries, including America, do have bigger governments than do Communistic countries do because those less developed countries don't have enough complex infrastructure within their own governments to greatly reduce the amount of corruption and inequality they have.

He deserves to be judged.

Oh yeah, I saw that! What a freak and cuck that host really is.

Vaping is bad for your body. Your whole body will eventually pay a terrible price.

That's true with big businesses. However, small and medium businesses may now see there businesses expand a lot because there are probably going to be a lot of employees from many big businesses around the country who will want to quit their jobs at those places and then seek jobs in small or medium businesses, if the Biden vaccine mandate does take into effect sometime into the future.

Haha! I'd especially love to sees Newsom kick both Elder and Jenner in their balls and then laugh at them while they suffer. Ahahaha!

So, tomorrow will be the California recall election, and even though the most recent polling averages have been showing Newsom having the greatest lead he's ever had for tomorrow's election, I am still nervous about the outcome because there's always the very slight possibility that polls could be very well off. Here is a prediction from a very young, but highly intelligent student who will a newly enrolled Harvard student beginning this Fall: I pray that he too is right, because if someone like Larry Elder wins then not only will this be a disaster for California as a whole, but also for the entire country as well. Not only will California deteriorate greatly by the executive orders that will be made by a crazy right-wing black sellout running the state, but also US senator Dianne Feinstein will be replaced by Elder if she dies very soon due to very old age. Plus, if Newsom loses, then it will provide a major wind in the sails for Republicans for the 2022 midterm elections.

Thanks! I didn't know about that. Though I wonder if even California itself can financially afford to pay for something like that for everyone throughout all of CA. Also, despite the fact that the Newsom is a centre-left Democrat and currently both houses of the California State Legislature are controlled by veto-proof Democratic supermajorities, I don't know if we have enough Democrats in either the state-level executive branch or the state-level legislative branch of CA who really have it in them to pass such a bill. There might be a number of moderate and conservative Democrats in either or both houses of CA state legislature, who might be making up all kinds of BS excuses like "Medicare for All in the state of CA is a liberal or progressive pipe dream. We can't afford to pay for it.....We also shouldn't just pass it strictly along party lines. Otherwise, It would be unfair to our Republican colleagues in the California State Legislature who are unable to get a fair voice in our assembly.....This bill would be too divisive for our CA constituents.....blah, blah, blah......" Furthermore, I am not sure if Newsom himself truly wants a single-payer healthcare system to actually happen, because he did campaign on that for his 2018 gubernatorial race, but then has let us down on that by never really following up on that for about 3 years now. I don't know. I guess we'll have to see.

Governor Newsom DEFEATED the recall effort! Yeaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/09/14/us/california-recall-election-newsom What a major relief that is for Californians like myself!

Then why are many big businesses including some of the most successful ones in the world including the Chamber of Commerce, Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot are loving this new mandate? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/biden-vaccine-test-mandate-business-response-walmart-amazon-google-apple-2021-9%3famp

So, you think that Newsom is going to be alright?

You don't get it dude. It's not just about you, it's also about everyone else around you whom you could infect in various terrible ways if you have the virus.

I pray that the new Biden vaccine mandate will definitely hold up in the courts. Otherwise, our country could be in much more danger than we are in now.

I do recall Leo having said in his Youtube vid on Spiral Dynamics - Stage Red and other mods on this forum having mentioned various kinds of white collar crime including insider trading, Wolf of Wall Street moments, embezzlement, racketeering, etc. all representing a type of toxic Stage Orange. However, I thought that one of the main features that differentiates toxic Stage Red from toxic Stage Orange is that Stage Red usually breaks the laws of of any established society whereas Stage Orange generally abides by them. Yes, white collar crime is not a kind of violent crime, and I do remember Leo saying that violent crime falls under the category of toxic Stage Red. However, white collar crimes are done out of excess narcissism, sociopathy, or psychopathy and impulsivity which are all Stage Red traits. Although I know that Leo still says that people like Donald Trump are primarily Stage Red, because of how incredibly narcissistic, sociopathic, and impulsive he has always been not to mention a lifetime criminal. Yet, a person like Trump has never committed any violent crime (at least as far as know) and doesn't even seem like the kind of a guy who ever has had that in him. He instead has been a white collar criminal. So, why couldn't you argue that someone like him represents a toxic version of Stage Orange? This is why I am still not 100% clear on the exact differences between Stage Red and Stage Orange.

Given how terrible the COVID-19 situation has been in the US again due the country having faced a pandemic of the unvaccinated for weeks now, a number of big businesses such as Disney, Walmart, Google, etc. have now been mandating their workers to all get vaccinated. Also, the Biden administered has begun to force a certain number of federal employees throughout the country to attest that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or be subject to masking, social distancing and weekly testing. The Biden administration is further considering even more ways to coerce a lot more federal employees around the country who work for the country to get vaccinated. However, groups of people such as those from the public sector unions and The American Postal Workers Union already are indignant about that because they feel that it greatly infringes upon their civil rights and that such changes be "properly negotiated with our bargaining units prior to implementation." Even this Washington Post article says that Vaccine mandates will backfire. People will resist even more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/07/31/biden-mandate-covid-vaccine-hesitancy/ Do you think that increasing vaccine coercion amongst the unvaccinated people that remain throughout the whole US is wise or could it actually backfire?

Quite rich coming from this old hag. In case she wasn't ever aware of her body, she has tons of bodyweight to lose herself before she is allowed to even think about judging that poor girl.

So do u think that the US military should’ve taken away all of the equipment they gave to the ANA before withdrawing all of 2,500 troops that were left in the country?

Man, this thread really turned into such a controversial one. Thank you all for all of your responses on here. They all had valuable insights into the various kinds of opinions there are on the idea of mandating or enforcing vaccines on citizens. Btw, in case you guys haven't heard already, according to news sources such as CBS news President Biden just announced yesterday that he now has already signed a number of executive orders that consist of vaccine mandates for all federal workers and contractors, and a requirement that large companies must now mandate vaccines or regular testing for employees. Plus, Biden said "My job as president is to protect all Americans...So tonight, I'm announcing that the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week." "The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is developing a rule requiring all employers with at least 100 employees to make sure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require unvaccinated workers to get a negative test at least once a week. OSHA will issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to introduce the vaccine requirement. Companies that fail to comply could face fines of $14,000 per violation, Mr. Biden said." https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/biden-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-announcement/ While many big business such as Walmart and even the greedy Chamber of Commerce have already applauded this sweeping measure, many Republican and Libertarian officials are now very upset with this.

You even implied in your repose to me in the Afghan withdrawal megathread that the chaos during the withdrawal wasn’t really Biden’s fault and hat most people expect the government to operate perfectly when in reality that is such a foolish belief to have. Btw, Michael Moore actually said that he was really by impressed by the fact that with the exception of the innocent lives recently taken by the suicide ISIS-K terrorists, including 13 US soldiers, the Biden administration was still able to protect the lives of all of the rest of 2,500 US troops and all of the other 100,000+ people the US military evacuated as well including the countless American civilians who are a part of the US government along with the big groups of Afghan allies. I mentioned this before in another thread, but I don’t think most people recalled Biden actually deciding to help evacaute the massive amount of Afghan allies who wanted to leave. That in and of itself should be considered a bonus accomplishment for Biden.

Hey everyone, so I've decided to make a thread here for anyone on this forum who wants to ask me any questions pertaining to fitness and health. Now, I am not a licensed personal trainer yet or a certified dietician; however, I actually has vast amount of knowledge and understanding on diet and exercise after several years of learning and practicing both of these areas religiously. I've also practiced and studied sports of various kinds throughout my whole my life including running, swimming, soccer, tennis, martial arts, yoga, pilates, powerlifting, etc. So, let me know what your questions are and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.
